VMWARE TECHNICAL NOTE
Creating a Mass Storage Section in the sysprep.inf File
To define the mass storage requirements for the target physical machine, edit the
sysprep.inf file.
1. Using the text editor of your choice, open the sysprep.inf file created in the previous
section.
Refer to Creating the sysprep.inf and commandlines.txt Files on page 6 for additional
information.
2. Create a Mass Storage Section which contains one line for each mass storage subsystem
whose drivers you want to pre-install before transferring the image to the target computer.
3. For mass storage adapters supported on the Windows distribution disk:
a. Add lines in the mass storage section using the following format:
[SysprepMassStorage]
<hardware id> = “<path to device inf>”
Where:
<hardware id> — the plug-and-play hardware identification number for the mass
storage subsystem.
<path to device inf> — the path to the .inf file for the device in the image
you are transferring. This is usually in the \inf subdirectory of the Windows system
directory.
b. Specify each storage adapter.
For example, the following entries support the IDE controllers (PCI and Intel) whose drives
are included on the Windows 2000 distribution disk. The following example text is from a
target physical machine.
[SysprepMassStorage]
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1222 = “%windir%\inf\mshdc.inf”
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1230 = “%windir%\inf\mshdc.inf”
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7010 = “%windir%\inf\mshdc.inf”
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7111 = “%windir%\inf\mshdc.inf”
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2411 = “%windir%\inf\mshdc.inf”
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2421 = “%windir%\inf\mshdc.inf”
4. For mass storage adapters not supported on the Windows distribution disk:
a. Add lines in the mass storage section using the following format:
[SysprepMassStorage]
<hardware id> = <path to device inf>, <disk directory>, <disk
description>, <disk tag>
Where:
<hardware id>— the plug-and-play hardware identification number for the mass
storage subsystem. It can be found in the textsetup.oem file for the device from the
